The Cove Center For Grieving Children

The Cove is a safe place for kids to come together with other grieving kids, to share their stories and their feelings with others.  But The Cove is not simply a program for kids.  Since children grieve best in a knowledgeable, caring family environment, it is important that parents and siblings learn about grieving kids and how to help them cope.
